"The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste." — Steve Jobs


That was then, this is now. Now, there's definitely more than one problem with Microsoft.


It is a path-tracer which is slightly more advanced than a ray-tracer.


Same here. My right speaker is blown out. Go to settings and set the fader to left. Not sure if the speaker can be fixed.


To solve this I subscribe to blinkist where they have summarized every self help book into a 15 minute read. It costs money but the summarization of content is worth it. I've read hundreds of self help essays (books) with blinkist.

Git just tries too hard. Worst UI and lexicon.

There is this charisma around git that I simply don't understand.

Errors like this are avoidmake. Supporters explain it away as user error.


I completely agree with you. Perl is absolutely terrible for basic oo. Basic getters and setters needs the moose module which instantly slows down your code base beyond.

I'm a very competent oo perl developer. I recently wrote a complex large platform in Perl5. It's simply not good enough.

In addition cpan is like walking the dungeons of moria. amazing relics of complexity frozen in time.


> Perl is absolutely terrible for basic oo.

To clarify for readers who might not know...

* Perl 5 (the language this comment appears to focus on) and Perl 6 (the language the OP is about) are different languages in the same family, like Common Lisp and Clojure.

* Perl 6 OO is syntactically and semantically elegant. "In using Perl 6, one of the things that constantly floors me is how elegant objects are..." [1].

* Perl 6, which has this elegant OO built in, outperforms Perl 5 + Moose for some things and trails it for others.
